A group of more than seventy beautiful and talented undergraduate female students across the globe have started their journey here in Beijing not only to win the crown of Miss World University 2016, but also to spread the message of peace and love.
Anita Asianya comes from Nigeria.
"In terms of beauty, I can&`&t beat any other person, but I feel like what I possess is good enough to represent my country and that&`&s why they let me come here. So I feel like me being here, I am representing my country, I&`&m letting people know that there is more to Nigeria that meets the eyes, there is more to help, much we can do in terms of talent and how much potential we possess in our country. I know after this pageant, people are gonna take more interest, people that did not believe in Negeria or would not wanna associate with Niegria, after seeing me here representing my country, would definitely think differently."
Brittany Michalchuk representing Poland says that her passion is to inspire more people around the world.
"My goal is to help more people. And I know if I won World Miss University, I would be able to help more people on an even bigger scale. We need more role models and leaders to stand up for peace and to promote it. And the way they&`&ve even put this competition on, everything is underlined with love and compassion and it&`&s been such an uplifting experience that warms my heart being involved in this."
Veronicka Devlin is from Ireland. She says by taking part in the pageant, people will have a better understanding towards each other to disseminate the idea of peace and harmony.
"I think it&`&s a wonderful opportunity for people all around the world to come together and by coming together, and talking together and experiencing each other&`&s cultures, we have a much better understanding of each other, and therefore less likely to form negative opinions of one another."
The grand final will be held in the city of Xiamen in southeast China on 27th this month. Aside from the beauty pageant, contestants will have to attend a series of activities including public speaking, cultural exchanges and quiz shows.
Established in 1986, World Miss University aims to celebrate the UN&`&s announcement of the "International Peace Year".
Through this event, viewers are reminded of the problems the world continues to face and contestants strive to bring hope to the world through their actions such as voluntary service and peace campaigns.
